Jonathan Moyo says violence begets violence

Information Minister Jonathan Moyo said violence begets violence and talk about phantom violence in Zimbabwe could only encourage unscrupulous elements, among them ex-Rhodesians belonging to the Movement for Democratic Change to instigate violence in the hope of using it as a political platform.

Moyo was commenting on sentiments by Acting United States Secretary of State for African Affairs William Bellamy that the US congress and administration were concerned about the level of violence in Zimbabwe.

“We are totally against violence and that is why we are the most peaceful country in the region,” Moyo was quoted by the State-owned daily, The Herald, as saying.

“The time has come for people like Mr Bellamy to identify violence where it is and it is certainly not in Zimbabwe because we will not allow it,” Moyo said.
